      Tonight the president of the United States is trying to use his censorship of the press to distract us from his obstruction of justice, which was itself intended to cover up his campaign’s collusion with a Russian act of war against our election.

      This is why I was both inspired and sobered by the midterm results. A country in which 45 percent of people are fine with anything, politically speaking, in which authoritarianism and racism and demagogy are not dealbreakers for nearly half of us, is at grave risk.

          I’ve already heard too many excuses why good people still support our president and those he endorses. It is beyond me why anyone with a good heart can still stand behind someone who purposely entices division between Americans.

          What percentage of Americans are white, heterosexual, high school educated, christian, never moved more than 50 miles from where they were raised?

          A full third of my high school class. And, no surprise, they're all trump supporters. They're also bigoted, uninformed, incurious, trash-pandas who truly think they're superior.

          Anand’s? ‘Cause I’ve reread this thread now 5 times, and, while I could be wrong, think you and I got our commas right. (I’m kinda weird about commas too). Please answer me so I can sleep. : )

          incurious, trash-pandas. Shouldn't have one. I had another adjective in there and took it out for space but forgot to remove the comma. I feel this was helpful, talking it out together. I may actually survive this.

          Dang, I have written two replies, one supporting the comma and one agreeing w/you. Both arguments I could justify, imo. And so I will end w/a quote from Oscar Wilde: “I spent all morning putting in a comma and all afternoon taking it out.”

          While i love that quote, I just mentally edited your post and added one period and two commas. One of them would have been unnecessary. I need to go to bed. Thanks for the Oscar Wilde!

          Civil war of one form of another is increasingly likely. 1968 style violence at minimum. Sad but the stark reality

          you actually think non voters are fine with things? Many of them have simply given up on voting as the path to actual substantive change, with good reason and hard-learned experience. Frankly, the data we do have supports them more than it does you.

          There's strong evidence that who gets their interests dealt w/ legislatively or not is far more directly correlated to your net worth than any partisan ideaology. Voting in our system as presently constituted shifts the deck chairs, it doesn't stop the boat from sinking
